Vacation Part 1: Baltimore and DC

On day one, we flew from St Louis to Baltimore. Annabelle did pretty well on the flight; a few complaints here and there. Of course, she fell asleep about 10 minutes before we landed (something we were trying to accomplish the whole time). So, Kris got to manage all of our luggage while I lugged a sleeping Annabelle through the airport, baggage claim, and on the rental car bus.

In Baltimore, we visited our old neighborhood, Federal Hill. Our friend, Matthew, met us there and Annabelle met him for the first time and took an immediate liking. We walked around, went to the park at the top of Federal Hill, watched some kinetic sculptures go by, and went to dinner at Kris' favorite place in Baltimore, Thirsty Dog. Annabelle met two more Baltimore friends, Sean and Becky, at dinner! Of course, we also stopped by Ropewalk Tavern, where Kris and I met 6 years ago :)


We spent the next day in DC. Matthew met up with us again and my brother, Paul, and his girlfriend, Brittany, joined us as well. We went to the National Mall and perused the Natural History and Air and Space Museums. We took a walk to see the Washington Monument, but didn't have time to go to the other monuments or the White House :( Dinner was a Luna Grill and was delicious (Happy Mother's Day)!
